RAILROAD BILLS MAY BE INJECTED
Preliminaries la Impeachment Casa

the Statehood Bill
Dlscassloa.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-fnless legisla
tion for government ratemaklng for the
railroads shall be Injected Into the hou!e
next week the legislative workdays will be
devoted to the annual appropriation bills
No program on the rate question has been
agreed on. However, the Introduction of
the Hepburn bill on this subject Saturday
and the long consideration that has been
given tho matter in committee, Indicate
that the house soon will be asked to give
consideration to the proposition.
The Ilstrlct of Columbia appropriation
bill has the light of way, and following
this the pension appropriation bill and the
postoffice supply measure are next In line.
These measures doubtless will consume the
week with some minor measures thut may
Iks given a little time.
Impeachment lu Senate.
The I'nlted States Semite this week will
transform Itself Into a court of Justice for
the trial of the impeachment, charges
against Judge Charles Hwiiyne of ITuilda.
Official Information of the action of the
house having been given, it is expected that
iiotlre of the senate's readiness to hear
t lie charges wl.ll be conveyed to tho house
immediately after It convenes on Monday.
The managers, on behalf of the house,
thereupon will present themselves beforo
the bar of the senate and read the charges.
The next step in the process will be the or
ganization of tho court, but this probably
will be postponed until Tuesday. Each of
the senntors will be sworn in by either the
chief Justice or one of the Justices of the
supreme court. Judge Swayne then will
be notified that the senate Is about to begin
a trial ot tho charges ngalnst him, and
he will be given a reasonable time to reply.
It Is understood that after the proceedings
me begun they will be continued with as
little interruption us possible until their
conclusion. It is not probable, however.
that the present week will witness more
than the preliminaries.
The managers of the Joint statehood bill
are very hopeful of securing an agreement
to vote on that measure before the close
of the week. The opponents of the bill do
not admit this possibility, bu those senators
who feel confident of the acceptance of
some one of the amendments eliminating
Arizona from the question say they will be
prepared for a vote as soon as the discus
sion Is exhausted. It is the Intention, of
Senator Beverldge to keep the bill to the
front as much . as possible until It is
voted on.
The fortifications appropriation bill
which was pending when the senate ad
journed Saturday, will be taken up again
on Monday, and will hold the attention of
the senate until disposed ot.
Kulogtes on the late Senator Hoar will
te delivered next Saturday.
CONDITIONS AT SASSIM PITIABLE
Thousands of Armenians In Destitute
Plight.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 22. -The State de
partment has made public portions of an
Important report recently made by Dr.
Thomas H. Norton, American consul at
Harput, Turkey, on the results of a tour
of Investigation made by him, under In
structions from the department, through
the vilayets of Bltlls and Van, which
were the scenes' during several months last
summer of repeated attacks upon and mas
sacres of Armenian Christians by the
Kurds and other elements of the Moslem
population. These disturbances, attended
by frightful atrocities and savage cruelty.
resulted in death, suffering and destltu
tion'.
The principal object of the visit was for
the better protection of American Interests
there and the timely arrival of Dr. Norton,
It la stated, contributed to a peaceful term
tnatlon. No Americans were known to have
been Injured.
Dr. Norton says Mush Is practically an
armed camp, where Armenians are In con
etant terror. He estimates that in the Bas
sum camp 6,0u0 lives were lost In last sum
mer's 'massacres. Including 2,171 children,
Several thousand refuges who fled to Mush
were forced, to return to their ruined vil
lag-es, where the vlllayet authorities made
an allowance of 1 cent a day per capita for
food. The question for the moment, he
says. Is what Is to be done to save the sur
vlvlng population of Sassum, numbering
10,000 or more, from the result of Insufflc
lent protection and Insufficient food.
He speaks of the American schools and
Institutions and says the missionaries have
much prestige. One salient fact, says the
consul, Is that the benevolence of citizens
of the United States has accomplished more
than the efforts of other nations combined
In advancing the material, intellectual and
moral welfare of the Armenians and other
classes in the Interior provinces. Tribute
Is paid to the comparatively small group
of American workers. He says the tide of
emigration is directed almost exclusively
to America, and that there Is an Increas
Ing number of American citizens who have
interests In the (disturbed regions.
MOSEY IS IEGDGD FOH EDUCATION
Schools for Only One-Fifth of Chll
dren la Porto Rico.
WASHINGTON, Jan. .-The annual re
port of the commissioner of education for
Porto Rico, Samuel McCune Lindsay, as
maae puuuo oy me interior department to
day, says that at the beginning of the
present school year . there were approxl
mately 1,200 publlo schools in operation in
Porto Rico, Involving the maximum amoun
that the finances of the insular govern-
ment will permit. The report suggests
that an increase of taxation is unadvleable,
that the receipts from the present taxes
will Increase somewhat with- the growth In
value of taxable property and will permit
or some slight Increase in the school fund
The report says, however, that the 1.I0J
schools furnish accommodation for only
one-nrtn or the population of school age.
From $1,000,000 to 13,000,000 a year in add!
tlon to aH Insular snd local appropriations
could be spent profitably on the schools
No money la being spent on educational
frills or experiments.

Xiritnaita Want Paotertloa.
HURON. 8. D.. Jan. !. (Special )-Dur-ing
the meeting here of the Slate Horti
cultural society, many of the speakers ad
vocated the enactment of a law reguiuting
the sale of foier.t and fruit trees, nursery
stock, plants, etc., within the state by for-
gn or outside parties ' This measure is
deemed of general importance to every
home owner and farmer In the state, and
would result In the saving, not only of
many thousands of dollars to the people,
but would materially enhance the inter
ests of every person .giving attention to
tree growing, frrlt mining and ganeral hor
ticulture. The state is overrun with ugeuta
canvassing for orders for nursery stock, a
arge proportion of which Is not adapted to
the climate and soil of South Dakota, and
therefore fail in results. Besides, much of
the stock Is of Inferior quality and not true
to name. The proposition is to protect the
people against fraud and it will not be sur
prising If the present leg'slature falls to
place on the statute books a law regulating
this class of business in the state.
RAILROADS CONTEST FOR CAMOX
Xorthrrest era and Burlington Both
After Rights.
CHETENNE, Wyo., Jan. 22.-(9peclal.)-
The struggle between the Burlington and
he Northwestern railroads for right-of-
way through the Big Horn basin is now
on and both roads are straining every
nerve to secure advantage over the other.
Numerous corps of purveyors are In the
field and frequently the rival forces cross
each other's surveys.
The coveted strip of prospective railroad
grade, and for which the Burlington and
Northwestern are preparing to wage a
bitter fight, lies through the canon of the
Big Horn river Immediately north of Ther-
mopolls, for this roote presents the only
feasible avenue of entering Thermopolis
from the north. Both the Northwestern
and Burlington have made surveys, but
the Relgo-Amerlcan company, which pro
posed to build the Wyoming Central rail
road from Casper appears to have the whip
hund in that certain rights have been
granted the concern In and around Ther
mopolis. Vot.utd.iy the Burlington rallrqad filed
with the state board a request for the
exclusive right-of-way over the state re
stive at Thermopolis. As this reserve In
cludes a portion of tho canon in question
the Burlington would. If its request were
granted, not only have the exclusive right-of-way
across the reserve, but because of
this right no' other railroad could pass
through the canun, thus completely shut
ting out rival roads from entering Ther
mopolis ftom the north.
The disposition of the members of the
state board Is to grant no railroad ex
clusive fights, and It Is doubtful If the
Burlington is successful in its quest. The
board believes in using its position to
encourage a number of rouds to build
through the Big Horn country and not
grant exclusive privileges to any one con
cern. It Is now a settled fact that the Burling
ton Is to begin construction work In a few
weeks on a line from Frunnie, on the To-
luta-Cody line, which will run in a south
erly direction, tapping Lovell, Burlington,
Basin, the Bonanza oil fields and entering
Thermopolis through the Big Horn canon
and over the state reserve at the hot
springs. Surveys are now being made for
the extension of tills line westward from
Thermjpolls to tap the Klrwln gold mines
and the rich coal fields south ot Meeteetse.
It is also reported that tnls line will event
ually be extended on southwesterly through
the Jackson's Hole country into Idaho and
Utah, by way of the Snake river valley.

LONDON, Jan. 22. The Stock exchange
became eluggitth with considerable uneasi
ness at the end of the week, resultant on
the disturbed condition of affairs in Rus
sia. Continental bourses becoming weuk,
accompanied by a selling pressure from
that qUHrttr, considerably depressed the
foreign section here, which recently has
been upheld by purchases in Paris and Ber
lin. Despite the fact that a plentiful sup
ply of money is available, for investment,
the public Is still holding aloof, pending
more settled, conditions, though slightly
more interest was manifested the last few
days in Americans, which were compara
tively bright and firm against adverse con
ditions, the coalers, perhaps, showing most
strength. The Reading shares marked a
substantial rise on the week, but to the re
ported Bmallnesa of available Blocks of coal
and persistent support in New York. Kaf

to continental sales and falAe reports of a

Manchester Textile Market.
MANCHESTER, Jan. 22 There haa been
considerable inquiry in the cotton market,
esiecially towarda the end ot the week, re
sulting in a fair turnover. Although far
eastern reports were satisfactory, manu
facturers were unable to accept their offers
owing to the difficulty of early delivery,
due partly to the scarcKv of operatives and
contracts yet unfilled. There were isolated
cases when quick delivery was guaranteed
that prices were realized equal to those rul
ing which cotton was a penny dearer. Oth
erwise prices were irregular. 'I re inquiry
for yarn was more pronounced, with oc
casional business, while many spinners are
anxious to secure orders for futute deliv
ery, to get a wide margin till the end nf
the year. American cottons are a shade
easier, producers meeting merchants' lower
bid rather thaa ml business.

Weakness in the wheat market devel

Liverpool, Initial quotations showed slight
fains. May being up H'gSc at $1.15'riUo-V
or a time,- a leader of the bulls sup
ported the market, but there were few
purchasing orders from other sources. Pit
traders were moderate sellers. Toward the
end ot the first hour offerings Increased
considerably and. with no Improvement in
demand, the market gradually weakened.
Iwmestlc news was generally favorable to
the bears. Cash markets at nil grain ren

decreased only 119. WO bu., compared with
an unexpected rfductloh of lo.i'U bu. Re
ceipts In the northwest quarter were large
and the predictions were made that the
movement would continue on a liberal
scale for some time to come. Local pri
mary receipts were in excess of those of
the corresponding day a year ago, arrivals
today being tTl,i bu., as against tW".ini
bu. last year. Such bearish Influences
firaduallv undermined the market so that
ate In the session, prlres declined rapidly.
Profit-taking by longs who did not wish to

market closed weak, with May at $1.14',.
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal
to L'9.SMJ bu. Minneapolis. Duluth and Chi
cago reported receipts of 441 cars, against
31 cars last week and 373 cars a year ago.
The action of the wheat market was the
principal factor In the com pit. Influenced

CATTLE There were only a few bunches
of cattle In the yards this morning and no
change In tho market took place. For the
week receipts have been fairly liberal for
the time of year, showing an Increase over
the corresponding week of last yenr of
about 2,000 head, but as compared with last
week is a falling ofT of about 2000 head.
Tho market on tieef steers has been rathe
Irregular this week. The first half the gen
eral tendency was upward, but toward the
close the market weakened nnd most of the
advance was lost. There was considerable
difference of opinion among traders as to
how much was lost. Some thought the
market closed no more than steady with
last week's close, while others thought there
was still a gain of about a dime. In other
words, the market closed rather uneven,
some sales being bettor than others. As n
general thing the better grades showed
more strength than the short-fed cattle.
Good to choice steers may be quoted from
$5 to $5.50. fair to good from $4.25 to $4.90
and commoner kinds from $4.15 down.
The cow market followed much the same
course as the trade on steers. The quality
of the cows and heifers offered this week
was unusually good, which helped out th
appearance of the market on paper. Whilo
the market was uneven at the clos of the
week the general opinion was that the bet
ter grades were safely a dime higher, with
others not a great deal different from the
close of last week Good to choice cows
and heifers could be ouoted from $3.25 to
$4. fair to good from $2.40 to $3.15 and the
commoner kinds from $1.50 to $2.25.
The demand for bulls has been rather
limited this week and as a result prices
have suffered to some extent. Good to
choice grades sell from $3 to $3.40 and the
commoner kinds from $2 to $2.80. Veal
cs'ves have shown little change.
The snpplv of good henvv feeders baa
been light this week, and with a fair de
mnnd prices have advanced fully 10fl)15c.
which cirrles the market to the high point
of the season. As high ns $4 t5 was paid
this week for choice cattle. The common
snd light cattle have not shown any nte
tleenhle improvement. Good to cholen
trrndes -mav be quoted from $3.90 to $4.36;
fair to good from $3.40 to $3.75 and the less
desirable grades from $3.25 down. Repre

HOGS There was about a normal run of
hogs here this morning and with a good
local demand the market oiened fairly act
Ice and about 24c higher, or strong to
60 higher. Light hogs sold exceptionally
well, as packers seemed to be anxious fur
them and were willing to pay nearly as
much for them as for medium and mixed
hogs The extreme light weights could be
quoted from $4,574 down, light weights
from $4,674 to $4. 60, mixed and medium
weights $4.60 to $4,624 and prime heavies
from $4,624 to $4.70. After the bulk of the
hogs had been disposed of less favorable
reports were received from other points,
which caused a corresponding weakness
here, and the close was little. If any, bet
ter than yesterday.
Receipts of hogs this week have been
quite liberal, there being an increase over
last week of about 8,000 head, and as com
pared with the same week of last year
there is an Increase of about 13,000 head.
Prices have fluctuated but little all the
week and the close of the week finds prices
In much the same notches they were at the
close of last week. Representative sales:

SHEEP About six cars of sheep were
reported this murrilr.g. but they were not
offered on the market, so that a test of
value was not made. For the week receipts
have been about the same as for the same
week of last year, but as compared wilh
last week there Is an Increase of about
7,j0 head.
So far as the market Is concerned there
has not been much change In either dlreo
tlon. The demand for desirable grades of
both Stheep and lambs has been brisk and
stkch day s (Serin's bave lcn well crd
for. In some cases part fat kinds were
rather slow sale, but that Is generally the
case. A large proportion of the rewipts
all the week was made up of ewes, and If
there has been any change at all worth
mentioning it Is a little weaker feeling on
that class, and particularly en the less de
sirable grades, of which there have been
a good many on sale.
The demand for feeders haa besn fully
equal to the supplj- and the market may be
quoted strorg on all desirable grades As
high as $.a" was paid for feeding lambs,
which established a new high point tor the
season.

Wool Market.
BOSTON, Jan. 21. WOOL Concerning
the market the Commercial Bulletin
says: The market is extremely dull
and firm. No large blocks have been sold,
but there has been a modest business with
the small mills in territory, scoured and
pulled. Prices show no change. The feel
ing Is strong. Several large mill have
enough raw material to carry them for a
year Importations of Australian and
South American are large and accumulat
ing. London opening was a disappointment.
Reports from tho dry goods market ure
encouraging. Four of the largest Boston
dealers have resumed contracting in the
wvsi despite efforts to restrain them. The
shipments of wool from Boston to date
from December 29. according to the same
authority, are 1453,315 pounds, against 15,
147 618 puunds at the same time last year.
The receipts to date are 11,580,889 pounds,
against 10,168,636 pounds tor the same
period last year.
LONDON, Jan. 21. WOOL The offering
at the wool auction sales today amounted
to 13,925 bales. Demand came from all sec
tions and competition was keen. The large
offerings were quickly sold at unchanged
nrlces. Americans bought fine greasy
merinos and good bright cross breds at
rates in sellers favor. A good selection of
seoureds was taken by home and German
buyers at firm prices. France was an eager
buyer or lamns wool, outing tne rematnqer
of the series 98,000 bales will be offered.
